Scenes
Barbara (Susan Hayward) is being interrogated by police for a long period of time. One of them asks why she is wiggling her leg, implying that she is on drugs. She says "Well, a girl has to powder her nose every six or eight hours." This scene is notable only because the film was released in 1958, when even a vague reference to urination might have been controversial.
